Hey, that means that there won't be laws against encryption in USA, since the second amendment guarantees to right to keep and bear arms. Or perhaps it was a misprint and the right was only to keep bear arms after all, since other kinds of arms have many restrictions even today. Bummer - but perhaps someone can design an encryption algorithm which is to be used against bears, and so you guys in USA would be guaranteed to use that freely? //Jyrki
